Baby, baby - ain't it true? I'm immortal when I'm with you

Continuing my trip up #album-of-the-day...

20.08.28 : Blak And Blue - Gary Clark Jr (2013)

Never heard of him so no expectations going in.  And yeah, I'm not entirely sure how I'd describe it but it's certainly very American.  Blues rock, I guess - it's generally done pretty well although it did remind me of Huey Lewis in places, which I'm pretty certain wasn't his aim.  I can't say I'd search this out, but I can see having it on with a few beers and a bbq going would be a perfectly acceptable way to spend some time.
The channel had two thumbs up but no comments - it was a Friday before a bank holiday so I think we can forgive everyone!  Wikipedia has quite a few sentences about it, but very little content.  Critical reception was mixed and commercial response was muted - except in New Zealand where it got to #6.  Obviously.
"Customers also listened to" a load of people who, unless I'm very much mistaken, have got the blues.  I quite like the blues as a genre, but only to watch live - putting a blues album on just doesn't push my buttons.  However, this was just rocky enough that I didn't mind it, even if I won't exactly be rushing back to it.
20.09.01 : Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea - PJ Harvey (2000)

One I've visited before, but I've liked it from way back in the day - a fine selection of songs indeed.
The channel liked it and the channel's dads liked it as well (although I can confirm that my dad wouldn't like it).  It also caused someone to leave the channel, join the channel and then leave again - not entirely sure why. 
20.09.02 : Statues - Black Peaks (2018)

Never heard of the album or the group, but the use of the word "black" suggests we were in for something heavy.  And yeah, that's where we are.  It's not really my sort of thing but I actually liked a surprising amount of it - except for that low, shouty roar thing that bands like this seem to love doing.  I do wish they wouldn't - I've asked nicely for them to stop but they just don't seem to listen.  But apart from all those bits, I didn't mind this, although it did drag a bit towards the end.
The channel responded with one raised hands and 3 positive comments.  Wikipedia has no entry for the album and very little to say about the band - they need to get working on that.
"Customers also listened to" a load of people who I would imagine like to rock - and several of whom have "black" in their name.  As with Gary Clark, this isn't really my thing but I didn't mind it (except for the low, shouty roar bits - which was quite a lot, if I'm being honest).
The competition isn't terrible, but It's an easy win for Polly Jean, the notable cig fiddle player.
20.08.25 - Three I knew nothing about
20.09.03 - Two fine ladies

Continuing my trip forward in time through the album charts 22/12/23 :  Stick Season - Noah Kahan Well, this week surprises us on a couple of fronts.  Firstly, and probably the least expected, this is possibly the album I've heard most this year - because obviously I'm a massive Noah fan. Well, it might not surprise you to hear it's not me but my delightful daughter - but you might be surprised to hear just how much my youngest absolutely LOVES Noah, particularly given his folkiness.  She's got tickets to see him next year and (excluding festivals) they're the most expensive gig tickets I've ever bought.  But despite having heard the album loads, I've never actually listened to it, so I'm interested to see what I make of it on a one-on-one basis. You know what - the headline is that, having actually listened to it I can report that, at least in places, I liked this way more than I previously did.  I listened to it over headphones for the first time and t

I've done The Guardian's list of the top 50 albums of the year for the last three years and (mostly) enjoyed it, so here we go again with this year's list .  Last year I'd previously met ten of the list - it will be interesting to see whether that is repeated this year.   #50 : Crazymad, For Me - CMAT Coming off halfway between Jenny Lewis and Self Esteem, Dublin’s CMAT sets life’s greatest embarrassments to ritzy country showstoppers – the musical equivalent of piling your beehive high to distract from your tear-reddened eyes. On her second album, she tots up the price she has paid for her bad boyfriends, self-subjugation and knowing avoidance of less-than-romantic realities, always with mordant humour rather than self-pity: “I’m just some stewardess who feeds your pets / And does your dishes and pays your rent,” she sings on the delicate, harmony-heavy Such a Miranda. For all that she has lost in these songs – pride, love, literal cash – her perspective remains a firm

Continuing my trip down The Guardian's   top 50 albums of 2023 #30 : The Age Of Pleasure - Janelle Monáe Monáe’s last album, 2018’s Dirty Computer, saw the high-concept pop star returning to earth after several albums of space-age fantasia, showing a softer, fallible side for the rest time. Its songs were still divided into three categories – Reckoning, Celebration and Reclamation – indicating an artist who hadn’t quite let go of the structural safety rails. But on The Age of Pleasure, Monáe is resolutely grounded in pursuit of a new kind of body high. To the decadently rendered diasporic sounds of reggae, dancehall and Afrobeats, she hymns pleasure and desire, connecting (as did Jessie Ware also did this year) sex as self-empowerment and celebrating the kaleidoscopic nature of identity. Or, as she puts it on Phenomenal: “I’m lookin’ at a thousand versions of myself / And we’re all fine as fuck.” I have experienced a couple of Janelle albums and I found them somewhat inaccessible -
